Citizenship – Coming Soon!
Last week received a letter from the government of Canada requesting more proof that Debra has legitimate ties to Canada and that it is indeed her permanent home. I don’t believe I disappointed them. I spent the next day calling, faxing and photocopying. The result was a nearly 100 page document of letters, bills, receipts [...]
Still waiting!
Just wanted you all to know we are still here and waiting! Waiting on the Lord to bring the baby boy out to see us! Pray for rest, physically and emotionally and spiritually!! Please also pray for wisdom as some of my family is trying to decide if they should extend their plane tickets!
Overdue!
Well here we are… November 18th! One day passed due. We know that November 17th really is the right date… this was confirmed via ultrasound… they even said he looked big… back when we had our ultrasound in the summer. So here we are. My family all arrived from California yesterday safe and sound! And [...]
Waiting…
Here were are – the eve of the due date. Canaan was four days early and while we know that one never knows what can happen we had a modest expectation that Emmaus would arrive at least a little early. It’s been very hard for Debra to wait as she gets more and more uncomfortable [...]
Kathleen is Here! (and cold)
Canaan, my brother Ken and I all took a short trip down to Buffalo, NY to pick up Debra’s sister today. It was a smooth trip that of course resulted in many an odd look as Ken’s rhino liner neon drove by. Canaan has been excited for days at the prospect of spending a day [...]

If he doesn’t come on time… that would be very sad… Kathleen is coming tomorrow!!! Norm, Ken and Canaan are driving down to [...]
Our Furnace Is Here! (but not installed)
Well, our brand new natural gas furnace is here! The heating guy came on Saturday, removed the old oil furnace and brought the new one inside. It was nice to see it sitting in place down in the basement, but will look even better with everything attached! He is waiting on the gas company to [...]

Online Classes
As time passes before we leave for Guinea, it’s important to me to continue studying French, to keep what I learned and hopefully even improve. Speaking is the most important thing right now, I can study as much as I want in my books but I need to be using my French if I want [...]
